The price sounds like a discount display: €198,000 is due to take over the Warsteiner Bikepark. And to be clear: Ride does not provide any sound investment advice. We are merely compiling the facts here. So before anyone liquidates their pension plan or sells their house, please talk to several experts. But it would be nice to be the boss of seven routes including a bike lift.

Originally, the bike park was a ski resort, installed in the seventies. Today, when there is snow for once, at around 400 meters above sea level, it is mainly families who come to ride their sledges, according to the owner couple. According to the local newspaper "Der Patriot", the bike park emerged from a single trail in 2009. Today, seven trails ride downhill, from downhill and freeride trails to single trails and a slopestyle course.

The land belongs to the municipality of Rüthen in Sauerland, North Rhine-Westphalia. Whoever buys the bike park takes over the lease from the previous owners. However, the restaurant will become the property of the buyer. In addition to the bike offers, there is also a disc golf course and a dog training area.

The bike park is going well, the operator emphasizes in the local newspaper. The fact that he and his wife want to give up the facility after almost 15 years is solely due to their age. It is time to retire. There are candidates for a successor, the couple writes to Ride: "There is actually a lot of interest in our bike park. Unfortunately, the interested parties are often unable to raise the money and don't have any coherent concepts."

Reimund and Sabine Kaiser hope that their successors will continue to run the bike park, "especially for the youth in our rural area".
